The Woodlands Eatery

Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; FindMeGlutenFree explicitly warns it may not be safe for coeliacs. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (pasta, pizza, risotto using chickpea flour bases and GF tagliatelle). A symptomatic coeliac diner was told staff could not confirm no cross-contamination with pizzas, so chose pasta instead and reported no symptoms. Another coeliac reviewer praised it as 'one of the best GF Italian restaurants in Cape Town.' Shared kitchen with cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
